Copyright (C) 2020 embedded brains GmbH Preface ******* -The Real Time Executive for Multiprocessor Systems (RTEMS) operating -systems is a layered system with each of the public APIs implemented in -terms of a common foundation layer called the SuperCore. RTEMS provides -full capabilities for management of tasks, interrupts time, and multiple -processors in addition to those features typical of generic operating -systems. RTEMS has been implemented in both the Ada and C programming -languages. - -.. topic: RTEMS Mission Statement - - RTEMS development aims to provide a free deterministic real-time operating - system targeted towards deeply embedded systems which is competitive - with closed source products. The RTEMS project encourages the support - and use of standard APIs in order to promote application portability - and ease porting other packages to the RTEMS environment. Source: - https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Mission_Statement - -The RTEMS development effort uses an open development environment in -which all users collaborate to improve RTEMS. The RTEMS cross development -toolset is based upon the free GNU tools and the open source C Library -newlib. RTEMS supports many host platforms and target architectures. +This manual aims to guide the development of RTEMS itself. You should read this +document if you want to participate in the development of RTEMS. Users of RTEMS +may find background information in this manual. Please refer to the +:r:url:`user` and :r:url:`c-user` if you want to know how the RTEMS development +environment is set up and how you can develop applications using RTEMS. |
